Do you feel embarrassed when strangers offer to buy for something for you?

The other night wile I was on break, I was buying coffee and a little bitty pecan pie and the lady in front of me made a comment about how I look so tired and told the cashier that she was gonna pay for my stuff, too. I thanked her and told her she didn't have to, but she insisted. I felt sort of guilty/embarrassed about it. She probably noticed the circles under my eyes and my zombie-like demeanor..

wtf is that for?? Lol : ) I need sleep too ... just took me a million hours try to correct dis Cristian <---/ that's not even a word :) good night

Under the circumstance that you describe, I would not feel embarrassed. I would be appreciative of the kindness and understand that by accepting it, that I was making the other person feel good as well. There are times when if a stranger wanted to buy me something it could feel wrong, but this wouldn't have been one of those times.

Random Acts of Kindness are a good thing.Please remember to accept them graciously. Sometimes it is hurtful when you don't accept them to you (you're embarrassed and feel like a twit) and them who tried to do something nice.It is actually very disrupting to both parties involved if you don't accept.It almost spreads the word of: Don't do anything nice to a stranger. Keep to yourself and mind your own business. That is a very good message to put out there.

This random act of kindness was a good thing. Of course, this thought has to be kept within reason. If you think there is a pay-back or catch to the gift, use your common sense and by wary of the gift.
